I like to go fast and I like lifted trucks, So i it even possible to get a lifted truck on 35s into the 13s?

With enough money anything is possible :)

Why not swap to stock wheels/tires for track days, I dunno how comfortable I'd be running 35" mud tires @ 100mph

It's been done by the diesel guys I don't think it would be very easy to get a lifted on 35's Gasser into ththe 13's with out a bottle or boost. Gear ratio will defiently be your friend 4.10s even 4.56 would be better.

You already have a good start with your current mods and the 4.56's going in. Add a 2800-3000 stall converter to your list, and you would be very close to running 13's in cooler air.

Only real downside is that you don't want to be racing at the track with those 35's. I would have some drag radials on hand for track days, but it will look a little ridiculous with a lift and 28" tires...haha.

Or take the easy route like I did, and buy a diesel. I had an 07 cummins with just a 64mm turbo, 90hp injectors, tune, transmission, and your basic intake and turbo back exhaust. That truck put down 600hp/1200tq and ran 12.8's @ 108MPH on 37" mud tires.

Is a converter good on a daily driver?

I have a 3000 stall converter with 4.56's in my daily driver. Its a 2011 Crew Cab 4wd. It gets used for family road trips, regular daily driving, cruising down the beach in the sand, and I had it out to the track a few times as well before buying the regular cab. Point being, there is nothing wrong with having a higher stall converter in a daily driver.

forgive my ignorance Moe, but what is the RPM on the stock TC? Also, any rumors of vendors coming out with a carrier and gears for the front diffs on 2013+? As a vendor, sometimes you get to hear things we average joe's don't ;)

Stock stall speed is around 1800-2000rpms depending on your mods. And nothing new for the front diffs on the 2012+. Still have to swap the front axle to pull off a gear swap on the 4wd.
